Abstract
Metallacycloalkanes are important intermediates in organic transformations involving transition metals. These transformations include olefin metathesis, ethylene oligomerization etc. The studying of thermal decomposition behavior of these compounds can help us to understand the termination step in the mechanism of these transformations. This thesis describes the thermal decomposition studies on some new metallacycloalkanes with medium to large ring size and their precursor compounds.
